Poetry

The endless horizon
of wooded hills
immersed in silence
interrupted by the rare
singing of birds
                                    
reindeers
coming from the north
between the autumnal shots
and winter hunting
 
The Sami people
singing their jojk songs
and connecting with the ancestral spirits
 
the arctic wind
blowing under
the sky of amaranthine colors
at sunset
 
passing time
measured by growth of moss
on the rocks
and scattered antlers
of reindeers and elks
 
the perfect proportions
of long summer days
and short days of winter
 
the unity of coldness
and clean air
 
at nights
the intensified proximity
of the starlit
Universe
